WWPC Eventing Bootcamp | MAY 18, 2025
Day Clinic with Alanna at Red Barn Stables in Walla Walla
Semi-private and/or group lessons based on experience, skill level, and availability.
Open to WWPC members and non-members (non-member waiver required).
Goal: The goal of this clinic is to prepare riders for the Deary Camp and Horse Trials upcoming in the year. Additionally, it is structured to prepare riders for yearly Pony Club testing in HSE, Dressage, and Eventing certificates. The mission is to give students feedback in all areas of their riding and information on how to move forward to develop a plan for the year. This bootcamp is intended to simulate a camp, or competition environment with full day activity and the natural stress that may pop up.
Please bring plenty of sunscreen, snacks, lunch, and water.
Rainy weather: Footing safety call made by early Sunday am, if it’s raining heavy.
Students should prepare to bring their checkoff sheet for their next riding level and/or dressage tests for their next competition/Horse Trials.
Safety checks and medical armbands will be required for all USPC riders.
A safety vest is required for any lessons involving riding in the open. Non-negotiable.
PARENTS of PC members, please go through the options with your child! Ask them their goals!
